Do I REALLY need a 2nd Magic with this build?

Post » Mon Dec 12, 2011 5:43 am

I'm going to go with a new rolled character. Not sure what to call him. He's a either a spellsword or a nightblade.

He will use Archery as a way of sniping enemies from a far. Better able to clear out rooms/ thin out enemy numbers.

He will then use Magic as his "main" attack. Destruction of course. Fire for major damage. Shock to use on mages to drain their magicka. Frost? Hmmm. Don't really see the point of using frost to be honest.

Then, he will ONLY and I say ONLY use a one-handed sword IF he runs out of magicka. Or if my relentless shout is still on cooldown and I got an enemy all up in my face. Then I will use the sword and cut his head off.

I will use LIght Armor that I find (dont really feel like crafting armor as I feel it will be more work and no play and all work is NO fun) and Enchant it to fortify my magicka.



With all I just said. Do I REALLY need a 2nd form of Magic? Some people are telling me that I should really add conjure. But to be honest, I really want to fight my own fights. I don't want somebody else fighting them for me.

Someone else said I should add Illusion. Why? I really don't want to see anybody run away from me. I want to be IN the action. Not watch all the action happen. What fun is that???

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Need? No, you will get by with that. Other skills would be useful. Conjuration for a distraction, illusion to boost stealth and to crowd control enemies, stealth for sneak attack arrow shots etc. Oh and when your stealth gets high enough it and the bow is all you will use/need.
